I also want to ask why do we use stainless steel? vs regular Steel? a

My pipe on my Aviation Design Diamond, running a K210 has a very very thin pipe, and it ripped, (I accentually picked it up with my hand in the pipe)

I have been trying to find stainless to make a new pipe as its only 14in long, but this thin of stainless steel seems impossible to find.

That is why I like this post, I'm thinking of going up to .015 Stainless vs the .010 that is on there now, I believe these bigger motors K210-310 need a thicker pipe
